In other words, that's one area. How about a place like Chesterfield, where they have handicapped people? I think the building in Chesterfield is going to be shut down very soon.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Department of Social Services does not fund that handicapped group home. It is funded through health. We're talking about the alcohol and drug facility in Rankin Inlet, I believe. Am I correct, Mr. Chairman?

Mr. Chairman, the Minister already indicated that, in order for the project to go ahead, it has to be cost-effective and she suggested that it's going to be a combination treatment centre/health centre. Has she changed her message since five minutes ago?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The health centre we are talking about is like a nursing station. It is not a group home like the one you are talking about in Chesterfield Inlet.

For the record then, who takes care of group homes?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, the adult handicapped home in Chesterfield Inlet is funded through Health. It is not funded through Social Services.

Mr. Chairman, I think there appears to be a problem with the location because the Minister is now indicating she will now do an assessment to determine the type of building and where it should be located. I would like to put forward a motion to clarify this so we can go on with the other items of the budget.

Mr. Chairman, I didn't indicate that the amount be deleted, I indicated that I move that the community of Rankin Inlet be deleted. If I may speak to the motion, Mr. Chairman, if the motion is in order?

Thank you. We have a motion to delete the words "Rankin Inlet." That will probably mean that this is generic for Keewatin. Is that the intent of the motion? If so, the motion is in order.

Mr. Chairman, I am trying to see if we can proceed with the budget. I believe what is causing some of the problem is that the funding that is being requested is for an alcohol and drug treatment centre in Rankin Inlet. The Members are questioning the Minister and asking if she can do an assessment and a study to determine where and whether it would be possible to place this facility in the Keewatin.
Further, we want to know if she can make sure this building is cost-effective. The one proposed now is not cost-effective. So, in order to address the concerns of Members, I believe we should delete the words "Rankin Inlet." If, in the assessment, the location of Rankin Inlet is seen as the best location, then so be it. But, until that assessment is done, I think it is only fair that a specific location not be identified at this time. Thank you.
